Tinker Foundation

The Tinker Foundation "was created in 1959 by Dr. Edward Larocque Tinker. His lifelong interest in the Iberian tradition in the Old and New Worlds directed the Foundation's overall focus on Latin America, Spain and Portugal. More recently the Foundation has included in its mandate the support of projects concerning Antarctica, a region of significant interest on an international scale." 

One particularly interesting group they support finacially is Partners for Democratic Change. [Program Director, The Tinker Foundation, Inc., 1979-1985 ]
